Hello all friends and members! I am one more time asking help to understand and research the combat that claimed Oblt Werner Uhlig, shot down on 17th September 1944 - as previously answered by very kind friends of the Forum.

I have been looking at my "small" archives and this is what I found ( below ). Yes, I did not have a lot of information about the HOUR / PLACES of combat of USAF and RAF fighters for that day...Could someone help me?

KNOWN FACTS: 17 SEPTEMBER 1944USAF LOSSES ( KNOWN UP TO NOW )

Please, I would like to know the hour and place of these losses, if possible

JG 26 ( JG 26 claimed a total of 7 P-51 shot down that day on two separate missions! First mission apparently from III/JG 26. Claims between 14:40hs-14:58hs. Second mission apparently by II/JG 26. They claimed 3 Spitfires and 3 P-51 between 17:51 and 18:08hs )

Karl thanks a lot for the information. It will hep quite a lot to match the Luftwaffe claims and the USAF losses. But, may I ask you IF there were other casualties or if those posted there are the only ones recorded by the 8th AF?
Glad for your precious help!

I was always intrigued by a story described in One Bridge Too Far - a US fighter crash landed nearby airborne troops, and its pilot just took a carbine to finish the Flak position which had just downed him.
Any clue or is it another fairy tale?

Hello Boomerang!
Thanks a lot for this site and for helping on the thread! I will check the information and make my cross-checking to find what, who and where - the main questions of "new journalism"...
Will soon be posting more news about the claims and losses...Thanks again and have a nice week!

Karl,
Thank you for adding those losses to my overall knowledge. I checked a lot of FG histories and think that passed without noticing those losses! Thanks a lot! The loss of Lt Vozzy of 4th FG only confirms my "guess" on the 3 main combats that day, although I did not found yet the victor of Oblt Werner Uhlig of .5/ JG 6. But thanks a lot for helping me and adding to my knowledge.
Yours sincere and friendly
